All the best attributes of Sparkes’ game on show here. Lively going forward but also really dependable defensively as visitors pushed in second half. Photo: Jason Brown

7. Conor Shaughnessy - 8 MOTM
At his cool, calm and collected best to repel a lively Stevenage attack. Oozed class and had some moments of languid quality and robust defending when needed. Photo: Jason Brown
8. Joe Morrell - 7
Tenacious, dogged and niggly - all the best things about Joe Morrell’s game. Didn’t rise to the Stevenage bait when targeted and offered insurance to rare counters form the visitors. Really important in second half. Photo: Jason Brown
